Hi I would love to have a honeycomb skin.
Anyone great skin makers here who can help?
Thanks!
I think the actual one looks like this.
http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/andr ... 9575?seq=5 Swiftkey's theme for honeycomb tablet looks cool too.
http://technabob.com/blog/2011/02/06/sw ... honeycomb/Eh... It's possible and would be very easy, but the Honeycomb keyboard is designed for TABLETS, not smartphones. Take a look at the square keys. That would work OK in landscape mode, but not in portrait. The keys would be too small, and even more so with all that space between them in the screenshot.
Note that the background is partially transparent, too. If you want that dark blue background, we'd have to make a background in that color.
I'm finishing up with a webOS skin now, but I guess I could work on a Honeycomb skin as well.
Cool thanks.
You can also see this honeycomb theme for CM7 theme chooser. The developer has already skinned his keyboard to fit his theme.
Maybe port the pngs from there?

That may be possible, but that theme is for HDPI devices only- I'm using an MDPI phone. But I'll see what I can do.
I really like Swiftkey's skin, that would be a fun one to make.
I'm digging the Swiftkey keyboard for tablets. That design looks pretty doable in our format too.
+1 for the swiftkey keyboard skin...
+100000! ...I just got a Honeycomb theme for my epic and im using the iphone skin mainly because i like how the keys are more spaced than the others.Would it be possible to take the Iphone skin and just change the color to the honeycomb color? Ill take whatever I could get but that would be my DREAM kb!
yes that looks cool imo. a bit tron like?
Whoa, everyone, calm down lol. I'm workin' on the Swiftkey-based skin.
Wow! Looks great! How much more needs to be done yet. Any chance I could beta it for you? My email is jeckert21@gmail.com.

I'm almost done with the MDPI version- haven't started HDPI yet, but for this particulat skin, it should be very simple.
Do you have MDPI or HDPI?
I'll email you a beta once most graphical bugs have been fixed.
That's great! I have an HDPI EVO. But I would certainly test the MDPI as well. Thanks....

MDPI is done and looks even better then before! Now I'm porting everything over to HDPI. Should take one more day.

Sounds excellent, can't wait! I will check back tomorrow as well as email. Once again, great work!

May be a few more days. I'm having problems even getting the HDPI version to work. I'll let you know.
That looks so awesome!
What's the keypress going to look like? My suggestion would be to have it just be a brighter version of the graphic that's already there, giving the effect of the half-outline "lighting-up" when pressed.

It's done- two versions will be available, one with white keys like in the screenshot; the other with blue glowing keys.
I was going to wait and make two more versions (one green and one red) but if you guys want the skin badly I can put it up now
What do you think?
blue glowing sounds good to me
dan55 wrote:blue glowing sounds good to me
I was going to have both available as an option...
What I meant was, get one color (blue) now, or wait for two more (green and red)?
that's what I meant
blue for me please
but if you prefer to wait I'm cool with that too
cheers
dan
this is absolutely gorgeous! When will this be available for download?
